Table of Carbohydrate foods, according to their Glycæmic Index and average Carbohydrate concentration per 100g.

It is, of course, impossible to list every food. Use these lists as guides to learn which kinds of food have a high index and which kinds of food have a low index. If you use these tables and read about how to use the Glycæmic Index you should be able to predict the Glycæmic Index for foods that are not included in these lists.
